What is a “warp drive”?

[Red Badger]

A drive that ‘warps Space-Time’ in front of the vessel so that it can traverse long distances without breaking Einstein’s Speed Limit.................

Don’t waste your time, fellow scientists. The contest is effectively over. I’ve just finished work on a practical warp drive. Where do I go to collect that grant money?

Here I am running some final tests.

Old Bay Seasoning is a nice touch..................

It is a drive that "warps" the space time continuem in such a way as to allow a ship or similar vehicle to travel, at what appears to an outside observer, faster than the speed of light.

Because the continuim is "warped" this does not violate Einstein's theory of relativity.

Such a design appears to be much more practical for small vehicles. Perhaps automated "drones" would be the first use of such a drive.

I have to say...every time I see William Shatner these days, I like him more and more.

He is extremely self-effacing, and I find that a positive thing in guys like him!

Yes we know that your theory is worth Billions and Billions, but the best I can do is $500,000. Do we have a deal ?

[Red Badger]

That was part of why Star Trek was so popular. The right mix of fantasy, comedy and science fiction with a great cast of actors................

[SunkenCiv]

The Public Benefit Corporation? IOW, left wing scam. Thanks Red Badger.

Wow! This is a legit company.

Here is a link to their "Warp Factory" software referenced in the article: https://github.com/NerdsWithAttitudes/WarpFactory

Shatner just had his 93rd birthday a few weeks ago.

Picard was such a clown

Imagine a space ship is like a slippery Lima bean between your fingers. The shell of the bean is the warp field and the slimey stuff is subspace that’s around the ship. When you apply energy (lots and lots) to the warp field your bean/ship shoots through subspace at tremendous velocities many times faster than light.

You not in normal space so your not breaking and current physical laws and your protected from that massive acceleration by an inertial dampening field (whatever that is) which means you won’t get turned into strawberry jam when you apply that massive acceleration.
